My NYC 1985 Ken Smith BT V G first Shedua Bass ever!
Here is some photos of my 1985 Ken Smith BT 5 G. It is one of the first 200 basses that were made in New York and it was the first bass Ken did in a Shedua top and back. It has a flamed maple core and matching headstock. This bass has the killer 4 knob KS electronics and looks and sounds like the 5 string version of John Patitucci's 1985 6 sting bass. I believe that this is the bass that was photographed on the cover of Ken's 1986 Catalog (unsure, but the woodgrain says...Match). It is 100% original, in near mint condition, and sounds better than it looks!
I am the second owner and it has all the original documentation, original strap, original case, and everything else. For it's age, it is in incredible condition.

Nice piece of history there! It does look amazing for being 24 years old!

I just came across these pics today. This was my first Smith, 1985 Set Neck, Passive Electronics. I bought it new and owned it for 20 years, had to let it go to get my 5 String Smith.

85 Ken Smith BT 5 G & 1995 Ken Smith BMT 4 Cocobolo
Take a look at my super rare ken smith collection. The 85 is the first shedua bass ken ever did and there are less than a handful of BMTs that were made in a 4 string. This one is a super rare cocobolo top and back with mahogany core. The sweetest sounding four you will ever play.
